Question

is the processor the 2nd generation ?

is this laptop's processor the 2nd generation Core i7. I saw in this product's features : the processor is the 2nd generation, but when i compare this one with the other laptop, the processor is not marked as the 2nd generation.

Yes, it is. The easy way to tell with the Intel Core processors is you are looking for a 2xxx number on the processor. The following Wiki article can help you read between the lines on the processor model number. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Core

Question

replacing HDD with SSD on VPCF226FM

Would like to upgrade to a 256GB SSD. My question is how hard and accessible is the hard bay drive to do this. I could not find any information on how the hard drive is removed on sony's web site. Is it just a matter of lossening a few back panel screws?
